hi guys. first, I'd like you to know that this is not real hand. This hand is from snowie training.

Preflop, SB(Hero) raise 3BB and BB calls.
For me, 8s8c is very marginal hand to bet/check otf.
The reason is because each option has its pros and cons.
Reason to bet: 8s8c blocks opponent's flush draw. Also, it blocks 78, so we can expect good fold equity.
However, we do not block Top pair. T8 can be in opponent's calling range, but not much. Villain can have JT, QT, KT, AT and 9T.

Reason to check: 88 is can be good hand to check down. Since 8c can block opponent's flush draw, there is less possibility that opponent has flush draw so even clover comes either on the turn or river, we are not too worry about his FD.

Snowie said both options are fine but prefers to check.

I don't wanna be snowie geek, so I would like to share your opinion.
